Did they happen to you?

Comment:

I really liked the last books setup and I loved how quick the years would go, it made me cry a lot. It was such a good ending!! Quick question was Alice based on you and we’re some of the things that happened to her happen to you also!

Yes, some of the things happened to me, some happened to friends, some I read about in the papers, but most I just made up in my head–all these things mixed together.
